Crystal was one of those groups which, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t really be #1 but they wanted to so real bad. If it weren’t for Nomad and I.B.M. they would have been a nobody.
You think so? True about N.OM.A.D. and I.B.M. They got also (kinda) good suppliers. And remember, their cronies from Melon made them (or rather their intros) really well known. So they were (in some) way #1.
If not, who was that? SR? FLT? I was not following the “/” charts back then. And when it comes to the cracking quality..?
they had the worlds best and fastest supplier on amiga and consoles,its 2tuff . accorded to him, csl #1 and no one came close to their quality, so no doubt, 2tuff = not2tuff… ahwell
They were few fast dudes back then, but didn’t know he was THE fastest. He must have been living in the software houses ;);).
About the quality, you mean the quality of their cracks, I suppose.
I would say Quartex then came Skid Row, then PaRaDoX and finally PRESTiGE. Crystal came and went and their appearance was brief. Quartex is legendary, but it was Skid Row and PaRaDoX that became a name brand and an institution, respectively. PRESTiGE came on suddenly and they mopped the floor with everyone, but unfortunately they came at the end of the Amiga era, when Commodore already went bankrupt and originals had started to dry up, and we all know that lack of originals spells death for any group, no matter how good that group might be… Many people oooh and… Read more »
Right, maybe some starfield lacks,
otherwise, nice CSL cracktro: very clean smooth sinescroll, polished logo.
Water reflections would also be more realistic with a different color, more blueish than white.
Cool logo, funky tune and scroller, short message – hehe, yeah!
This scroller is making me sick.
Otherwise a cool logo but this tro is missing a starfield so badly.
who is csl ??
Hehe 😉

Love all of it, but it desperately needed something in the background, it looks so empty!
Simple and very effective, Crystal class! 🙂
Good logo, nice tune and reflection on the scroller.
I guess they didn’t write a long/boastful scroller since this was a release no other group wanted to put out (compilation of old games) 😛
Hehe… which games? 😀
Yeah very clean and professional. Agree longer scroll text would have been fun…
Love this slick design. Nice Logo, cool scroller and a funky tune – great! A little bit more content in the scroller would be cool 😉
accept no immitations …. that cracktro does the job for sure.But the font in the scroller should not have the same color as the logo, imho.
